lyrics

Hark how the bells, Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say, Throw cares away
Christmas is here, Bringing good cheer,
To young and old, Meek and the bold.
Ding dong ding dong, That is their song,
With joyful ring All caroling
One seems to hear, Words of good cheer,
From everywhere, Filling the air.
Oh how they pound, Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale, Telling their tale.
Gaily they ring, While people sing,
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
On and on they send, On without end,
Their joyful tone To every home.
Ding dong ding dong, Ding dong ding dong
Hark how the bells, Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say, Throw cares away
(We will throw cares away)
Christmas is here, Bringing good cheer,
To young and old, Meek and the bold.
(Bringing cheer to the young and old)
Oh how they pound, Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale, Telling their tale.
Gaily they ring, While people sing,
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas
On and on they send, On without end,
Their joyful tone, To every home.

Melodic gems, arranged with acerbic, sometimes heartfelt observational & lyrical wit - "evokes a lost past" "tunes that mainline into your heart & soul" "wistful melancholy" some say! ... more
